The 79-year-old also grabbed her gun to protect herself and her home.

"I've always said, don't ever let anybody come in and run you out of your own house," she told WSB-TV.

The suspected burglar went up the backstairs of her house and broke a window to get in.

"And I said to him, 'You come down these damn steps and I'll blow your f------ brains out,'" she said. "That's exactly what I said."

That's when she fired two shots — both missed the suspect.

But when police arrived, they found the man hiding in the closet of a bedroom.

"That's why I say she's my hero," mail carrier Connie Oliver said. "That she could do this at her age, I was very impressed. And I'm thankful the good Lord took care of her."

And Agard agrees.

"Trust me. God was all in the picture," she said. "Because my legs were trembling. I was saying, 'Lord have mercy, Jesus.' And then, 'm-----f----r' the next time. It was all mixed in."
